This record of the 24th year, like No. 199 above from Pallavarāyaṉpēṭṭai, deals with defaulters in payment of land revenue. It states that Tirunaṭṭamāḍi-Bhaṭṭaṉ of Gōmāḍam held lands at Koṟṟaṅguḍi alias Kulōttuṅgaśōḻanallūr. Evidently after his death, the payment of taxes on this land, which fell into arrears, devolved upon his two sons Yajñā-Bhaṭṭaṉ and Sundarattōḍu-uḍaiyāṉ and his wife Vaṇḍuvā[r]kuḻalichchāṉi. Since there was nobody to stand surety for them, they agreed to pay up the arrears by raising a loan from the treasury of Tiruvalañjuḻi-uḍaiya-Nāyaṉār and Veḷḷaippiḷḷaiyār and from the Malaiyāḷar of Malai-maṇḍalam who seem to have established a settlement here from the West Coast. They paid only a portion of the dues, but being unable to pay the balance, left the village. The duty of collecting the arrears fell on the assembly of Akhilanāyakachchēri, a dēvadāna in Akhilanāyaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, who, to clear the debts and realise the amount due, sold their lands and house-sites, with the sanction of the royal officer Vattarāyar, as tirunāmattukkāṇi to the temple of Tiruvalañjuḻi-Uḍaiyār.
The duty of collecting arrears in land revenue invariably fell on the assembly, who, in such cases, had to apply to the king for permission to confiscate lands. A record of Rājarāja IS.I.I., Vol. III, No. 9; see also A.R. No. 61 of 1898.
According to the details given, the date of this inscription is A.D. 1266, August 9, Monday, the nakshatra being Anurādhā, not Uttirāḍam as cited in the record.
The territorial division Uyyakkoṇḍār-vaḷanāḍu is stated to be situated between the rivers Ariśil and Kāvērī, in an inscription from Tanjore.S.I.I., Vol. II, p. 52.
